T & C
We had a woman named Rene on the show this morning who wanted to comfont her husband on radio. The reason
she wanted to comfront him was because she was tired of being called fat all of the time. It seems her husband likes to call her names in public, and in front of their children.
Many of you have called in to support Rene.
Battering someone physically, emotionally, or verbally is cruel.
It causes a toxic environment in the home. Sometimes verbal and emotinal abuse can hurt worse than physical abuse. Far too often the victim internalizes the message.
Abusive Anger: Rene simply asked her husband to stop calling her fat. He blows up. She needs to realizes that the aggressions of her husband belongs to him. She is not responsible for his behavior. He transfers his anger on to her. If you love someone, you don’t make derogatory comments about them in publc. Name calling is never a good thing to do to your wife in front of the children.
Threatening: this is a common thing for an abusive husband to do. Her husband may taunt her and threaten to leave her if she doesn’t lose the weight. He may tell her that he is attractied to other women.
If Rene blames herself for anything that happened this morning I willl feel bad. Nothing was her fault. I truely hope they get some counseling.
We will re-air T & C on Monday.
